Ever since she was young, Makayla has always felt like she didn't belong and she never knew why. She is also very shy and doesn't really like to talk to new people and because of this, it was really hard for her to make new friends. Everyone always looked at her like a weirdo since she was always by herself, never spoke up in class, and just read and wrote most of the time.

However, when she started high school, everything changed for her. Every year of school, there would always be one person who she had at least one class with and that girls name was Kireina Jade. Or just Jade for short.

Jade and Makayla have known each other since 3rd grade and they were actually really good friends, until Jade moved in middle school. Now they were in high school and Jade became a completely different person.

She became popular and constantly picked on Makayla while encouraging others to pick on her as well. Now, her life was a mess she had to deal with things that she never had to deal with before. . . bullying.

'Okay, you can do this.' Makayla thought to herself as she sighed. 'Don't think about the other kids. And ignore what they say about you.'

Makayla then started walking down the halls with her head down trying to ovoid eye contact with anyone. As she was walking, however, she heard all the things people where saying behind her back.

"Oh no, look." One student whispered in fear. "It's Makayla the demon witch!"

"She's acting strange." said another student. "She's probably planning to destroy us all!"

Makayla gasped hearing these words. What did they mean by "demon witch." That was something she hadn't heard until now.

'Demon Witch? What are they talking about?' Makayla thought in confusion. 'Where did they hear something like that?'

"Well, well, look who it is. Metro City High school's very own demon witch!" A familiar voice announcement. "Makayla Lightning! The biggest freak in school!"

Makayla sighed in annoyance as she turned around to see a teenage girl with aqua green hair, jade green eyes, and was wearing a crystal white top with blue trims, a black leather jacket, and light gray jeans. It was none other than Jade.

"Oh, Jade, what a present surprise." Makayla said sarcastically as she formed an obvious fake smile on her face. "What is it about this 'demon witch' I've heard about? Let me guess, it's a new nickname for you?"

"Shut the hell up, Light! You know damn well that YOU are the demo witch!" Jade growled in anger. "Don't you know that nobody wants to be around a loser freak like you?"

Jade then pushed Makayla causing her to fall back to the floor. "That's what you get for not only talking back to me but also just for being here!"

Makayla couldn't help it anymore as she started to cry, while Jade just smirked evilly. "Seriously, you're crying? You're such a big baby you know that? Grow up!"

Jade the kicked Makayla and walked away leaving her on the floor crying. "What did I ever do to deserve this? Jade used to be my best friend, and now she's spreading rumors about me?"

Makayla then slowly stood up as she whipped her tears away and sighed. "I wonder what would life be like if people actually liked me? Would I have more friends? If only that was possible."

At that cue, music started to play and Makayla began to sing.

Makayla: "What I could be if
I believed in me
Maybe today, I'll find a way,
my dreams will set me free
I can't make up my mind,
tired of getting left behind
What I could be if I believed in me
What would it be like to
live somebody else's life?
Those daydreams don't last
And they all fall apart pretty fast
The merchants arrive,
they know exactly how and why
They do what they do
I wish that could be true for me too
What I could be if
I believed in me
Maybe today, I'll dream
away and everyone will see
The colors in my mind, all the
shapes and the designs
They'd be set free
if I believed in me
I never know the words to say,
I can't show my face
I just know I'd be so out of place
But how would it feel to make
all of my daydreams real?
But I hesitate, and the
moment goes by, it's too late
Is this a new day?
Maybe they'll all see
I'll stand, and I'll say that
I believe in me, oh-oh-oh
The things I'd see if
I believed in me
Maybe today, I'll find a way,
my dreams will set me free
I will make up my mind,
I won't shy away this time
What I could see if
I believed in me!"

When the song was done, the bell suddenly rang as Makayla sighed before picking up her books and started to walk to her class.

But, little did she know, was that she would soon meet someone who could change her life for the better.

To Be Continued. . .
